Green recorded 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and a rebound across 14 minutes in Saturday's 132-112 win over the Kings.

Green entered the game and drilled five 3 -pointers in limited action, Green's proficiency as a long-range sharpshooter has evolved over his 12-year career as his 3-point attempts have steadily risen every year. Green doesn't see enough to minutes to be relevant in most formats, but if you're in a roto league that rewards 3-point shooting, he could be a worthwhile addition.

Rockets' Clint Capela: Records 10th double-double of season

Capela is on on-pace for career highs in points and rebounds in his fifth season with the Rockets. The 24-year-old remains one of the more reliable big men in the league, and his ten double-doubles put him well inside the Top 10 in that category.

Rockets' Chris Paul: Collects team-high nine assists in win

Paul converted a whopping 75 percent of his shots from long range on Saturday and came one assist shy of recording a double-double. The only blemishes on his stat line were his season-high eight turnovers. He's now scored 20 points or more in two of his last four games, and it appears the Rockets are finally rounding into form due in large part to Paul and James Harden's improved play.

Rockets' James Harden: Scores team-high 34 points in win

Harden is at the top of his game, averaging 26.6 points, 6.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds since his three-game absence earlier in the month. The Rockets are now one game over .500 and appear to be well on their way to righting the ship after a rocky start. Harden continues to be a must-start in all formats.

Rockets' James Ennis: Scores season-high 19 points in Thursday's win

Ennis finished with a season high scoring total for the second straight showing, and has connected on 13-of-19 field-goal attempts over the last two tilts while earning a combined 67 minutes. Ennis probably won't reach double figures on a nightly basis, but it seems clear that he'll be heavily relied on to provide defense and three-point shooting on a team severely lacking the former and always needing more of the latter to open up the floor for James Harden, Chris Paul, and Clint Capela.

Rockets' Eric Gordon: Scores 17 points in Thursday's win

Gordon continues to come off the bench and fill it up offensively, albeit inefficiently, having averaged 15.0 points (on a combined 21-of-62 shooting), 2.5 threes, 2.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 30.8 minutes per game in the four contests since he returned from a strained right hip. Gordon remains a decent source of counting stats on most nights, but he has connected on at least 50 percent of his field-goal attempts just once through 11 games, and that was in the season opener against the Pelicans.

Clark was listed as questionable with a bruised hip but ultimately was able to give it a go. His numbers have been up and down over the last five games, but he continues to earn no shortage of minutes, especially now that the Carmelo Anthony situation has been resolved. With the Rockets looking to turn up the dial defensively, Clark is a quality fit, especially considering he can also knock down spot-up threes as well.

Green had two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in four minutes during Thursday's 107-86 win over the Warriors.

Green had missed the last two games due to an ankle injury but was cleared to return for this one. Rookie Gary Clark continues to earn a bunch of minutes over the last few tilts, which could cut into Green's time going forward. With that being said, Green was already an inconsistent contributor best reserved for use in the deepest leagues.

Green (ankle) is participating in pregame warmups ahead of Thursday's matchup against San Antonio, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Green remains a game-time decision, although it's good to see him moving well prior to tipoff. He wouldn't normally enter the starting lineup, so fantasy owners will likely have to wait and see if he enters the contest off the bench.
